Subject: RE: Tech: Browser comparisons
I've dabbled with Duck Duck Go (pardon that pun!) and I don't remember why I didn't keep using it. I think it's installed but probably needs an update.

Garg, I hacked my Amazon Fire and installed Chrome and a few other programs but still find the Silk browser works best on those devices. In instances where there isn't a working app for something I want (typically an online periodical) I save an instance of the browser with that URL as a separate icon so I can get to the site directly. The same thing I tend to do on my phone (but using Chrome or Firefox on the phone.)

Jon, the question about using the task view isn't actually "off topic," it's pointing out another way to see everything you have been working on at once in a large thumbnail version, and I think there are some tools to be used there that I haven't explored. I mostly forget about it or hit it by accident when aiming for the browser link next to it.)

I have browsers set up for specific tasks; the Edge browser is set up for some contract work I do, and in that context, it opens with about 8 tabs so I can use the various social media and management software all at once. I made the mistake of letting it "sync" with the Beta version of Edge that I also use, and everything was turning up on both. But I use the Beta version for some personal stuff that works best in the IE/Microsoft environment, so I unsynched them and reset the tabs.
